A new female stole Justin Bieber's heart — but it's probably not who you think. The singer shared a photo of the newest member of his family, a puppy!

You can check out a snap of the precious pooch (cradled in Justin's arm, no less!) in the Instagram photo above. JB captioned the pic "Say hello to the newest member of the bieber family #Esther." If you're anything like us, you're totally melting right now.

Not a lot is known about Esther, although we agree with MTV's guess that she's a Yorkshire Terrier. The canine joined the Bieber clan just three months after Justin mourned the loss of his dog Sammy.

Over the years, Justin's proved to be quite the animal lover. In 2011, he reportedly looked into adopting a puppy with then-girlfriend Selena Gomez. Additionally, in December 2013, Justin and his dad announced that they welcomed an adorable bulldog puppy into their home. They chose to name him Karma, per a suggestion from a Belieber.

Of course, no roster of Justin's pets is complete without mentioning his monkey, Mally. After much back-and-forth in 2013, the singer was forced to compromise custody of the monkey in Germany. Furthermore, Justin once owned a hamster, which he gifted to a fan. And then there's the matter of the snake he carried to the 2011 MTV VMAs, which he later put up for auction.

We're glad that Justin has another new pet in his life. Besides, Yorkies are tiny and perfect for taking on tour. (Hint, hint, Justin!)
